Bodyguard

Mankind is generally recognised to mean human beings. At least, that's how I always interpreted it. My point is that to use a male term to include females (eg actors ) is sometimes promoted and sometimes seen as sexist eg mankind. It's the inconsistency that annoys me.
Anyway should have put this elsewhere as off the thread topic!

Thanks to PECS and trisher for commenting positively about the use of the word actor.
That’s what the acting profession use ??

That's where I've sen him before - in Motherland!

Oh, I will look on him in a new light now .
(Yes, I do know he's acting)

The Radio Times believes she's dead!

The cover of next week's issue features the face of 'the Home Secretary' and the caption Why She Had to Die, by Jed Mercurio. I imagine anyone watching the series on catchup will be pretty peeved!

I've just had a thought you don't think DC Budd is behind everything do you? Even the woman on the train. Is that why he was so sure she wouldn't blow the train up?

It could be the twist - but I think it wouldn't be enough of a twist trisher.

Looking forward to later ? ?

Can’t wait for 9 o clock. Wishing my life away.

I've just caught up with episode 4, the policewoman and the acting home secretary are in cahoots. They seem very dodgy. Also the attack on David's children's school was never explained was it? Can't have been just coincidence. Episode 5 tonight, don't want anything bad to happen to David.

Ha Ha. David Budd gave his mobile number to the ex PA at the end of last episode and apparently members of the public have been trying to ring it - with surprise surprise no response

Really the security services or any dodgy folk on the hunt for evidence hidden in Julia's apartment did not check the back of a photo?? OR is it a double bluff Dun dun duuuun!

Back of the photo? I missed that!!!

David found something in the frame behind the photo of Julia with David Cameron! Maybe the encrypted stuff??

Mr iam said David found her tablet/ipad behind the photograph. Like PECS I found it inconceivable the security services and or police wouldn't have searched the apartment to within an inch of its life.
Good though isn't it.

Yes..I am secretly enjoying it...do not usually admit to liking thrillers.. though saw a brilliant French film last week Jusqu'a la Garde (Custody) ..which made me hold my breath for ages!

Realised I didn't know about the picture because I hadn't finished watching the episode! I think it was the tablet behind the picture but if so must have added some unexpected weight surely...

Now, how come if Budd's ex-wife and kids are in a safe house why is Mrs B roaming around at work in the hospital without protection?

And for goodness sake, Budd and the other chap need to take off the steri-strips - we know they've been involved in an explosion!

At last, he's been put on sick leave after all the traumatic events he's been through.

All good stuff.

Good point Riverwalk I hadn't even thought about his wife working.
(I thought they were seperated not actually divorced ??)

Riverwalk, I'm not sure "roaming about the hospital" is entirely fair (if fairly accurate). She's at work. there are CCTV cameras everywhere, along with hospital security staff, there may also be police/MI5 type security watching her. The idea of protection in these circumstances is its to enable the person to live as normal a life as possible. I know......

My significant question is Who is her boyfriend, where is he, has he been security checked?!

Why is Keeley Hawes so thin? I don't wish to be unpleasant, I'm relieved I'm not a famous female actor because the pressure seems to be to be ultra skinny. In fact, that's one of the reasons I admire Sarah Lancashire, she can act and she's more the kind of size n shape of other women of her age. Apologies for this digression and especially apologies to Keeley Hawes for such a person comment. she is such a brilliant actor.

Will we get the answer to all these questions tonight? And will I understand the confusing bits or will I have to read some reviews to find out what I was missing? Sunday nights have been much more interesting and I hope it's not one of those endings which leaves you guessing.

Ooh eck

Ahh nice ending?

makes a change

Very improbable but very entertaianing.I did enjoy the final episode even though I watched some of it through my fingers ..lol.This leaves the chance of a second series.He's a great character so I'd certainly watch it .

Yes, a sweet ending but what a cop out. All in all a pretty boring episode.

Who'd a thowt it?? ?
